Way too many requested bans.. are we not good enough? We'll tone down spurgeonryan! we will!

By installing spyware on your computor that accesses your browser history and activates your webcam so the mods can see what you are doing. Failing that, they send a member of their elite stealth mod force to your house to spy on you.

That's far too extreme. There are a lot of members who change and become more agreeable after they find out what a great place this can be.

For instance; if that's how moderation was taken care of you'd have people like Carl no longer here. And we all love Carl!

I personally think the moderating system we have currently going is the best, and fairest since I've been here.

Oh yes, I'm just glad I got a ban on him before he was permabanned.

Esa-Peretti/Antabus/Runqvist/Gugerface says he'll be back in September... so I guess we'll just have to wait until then. It's kinda sad to know that he's been doing this schtick for 5 years now... but thus is life on gaming forums. >_>

Wow at those Alternate ID permabans.

Is that why you let him get away with insulting other users?

Hmm, he gets banned for it regularly, and you say he gets away with it??? There is something wrong with your reasoning here. 

I guess my example was too extreme.

But something needs to be done about repeat offenders, they just dont take offenses seriously enough, especially posters who have been here for a long time.

And maybe if there was some sort of rule that dealt with users who are repeatingly offending for a consistant period of time, then Carl might not have had such a long ban history.  Loving Carl isnt a good enough reason to not help move the community past the constant fanboy bickering that goes on in almost every thread.

yo_john and Kresnik can see my mod history? :-O
